Course Description

Further study of the structures, reactions, mechanisms and kinetics of organic compounds. Introduction to biologically important compounds and natural products. PREREQUISITE: CHEM A220. Transfer Credit: CSU; UC.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)

Use IUPAC nomenclature rules to provide a systematic name for a chemical structure or a chemical structure from a systematic name for dienes, aromatic rings, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, amides, amines, and carbohydrates.
Predict the products, including stereoisomers and regioisomers, and provide the appropriate reagents for common reactions of functional groups including dienes, aromatic rings, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, amides, amines, and carbohydrates.
Generate a reaction mechanism that explains the regiochemistry and stereochemistry for reactions of functional groups including dienes, aromatic rings, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, amides, amines, and carbohydrates.

Course Objectives

1. Describe the meaning and usage of important terms in organic chemistry
2. Solve organic chemistry problems using the knowledge and theories of organic chemistry in an organized and logical manner
3. Use the IUPAC and common nomenclature systems to recognize and name organic compounds covered in the course
4. Explain the relationship between molecular structure and the physical properties of organic compounds, and use these relationships to predict the physical properties of organic compounds
5. Explain the relationships between molecular structure and molecular reactivity in organic compounds
6. Predict the products of the important reactions of the covered organic compounds
7. Use the mechanisms of the covered reactions to explain and predict the site-selectivity and stereochemistry of the important reactions of organic chemistry
8. Use the reactions of the covered organic compounds to plan short, multi-step syntheses of organic compounds

Reading Assignments

Writing Assignments

Assignments and exams will include some questions requiring the writing of sentence explanations and/or descriptions. Students will be expected to analyze questions and generate answers to them. Some answers will be in the language of mathematics and others will, as stated above, be in English. Some questions will require the use of principles to synthesize an answer which was not taught.

Out-of-class Assignments

Demonstration of Critical Thinking

Exams, quizzes, homework. Examinations will include problem solving exercises.
